Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup cashew milk unsweetened
- 1 scoop protein powder unflavored + unsweetened
- ½ cup frozen cauliflower
- 2 medjool dates pitted
- 3 tablespoon raw cashews
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Measure all ingredients accurately and have them ready for blending. Ensure the dates are pitted for smooth blending.
- Place the cashew milk, protein powder, frozen cauliflower, pitted dates, raw cashews, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, add ice cubes to chill the shake further before drinking.
Notes
- You can use any protein powder you prefer; the recipe author used Isopure Zero Carb Whey Isolate Protein Powder to reach protein intake over 30 grams.
- If you want a sweeter shake, add an extra medjool date or ½ a banana for natural sweetness.
- Any unsweetened non-dairy milk alternative works well, but make sure it is unsweetened to avoid added sugars.
